Why The Politics Of 'Wicked' Make It A Must-Watch

Why The Politics Of 'Wicked' Make It A Must-Watch

To an extent, yes. The Wizard Of Oz was about American politics in the 1900s. The various coloured commodities—the ruby slippers (which were originally silver), the yellow brick road, the Emerald city—each symbolised different currencies or valuable goods. The Wizard himself was believed to be a stand-in for then-President William McKinley.
The article from Elle Australia discusses the political themes in the Broadway musical "Wicked," particularly focusing on how it reflects elements of fascism. It explores how the story, set in the Land of Oz, parallels real-world political dynamics, especially through the character of the Wizard, who manipulates public opinion and uses propaganda to maintain power, much like fascist leaders. The narrative delves into themes of discrimination, with the Animals in Oz facing marginalization akin to historical and contemporary instances of oppression. The article also touches on how "Wicked" critiques the notion of 'othering' and the dangers of mob mentality, drawing parallels to how societies can be swayed by fear and misinformation. It highlights the musical's commentary on the rise of authoritarianism, the suppression of dissent, and the importance of questioning authority, making "Wicked" not just a tale of friendship and magic, but a cautionary political allegory.
